Little Copying Rant

Just wanted to make it public because I know they’re watching – Gees, they even steal the widgets from my blog!

I understand that competition is a real part of any marketplace, and it makes our products to move forward and grow businesses. Competition is a great thing.

But copying is not!

I've been focusing on keeping my products unique, I don’t cut corners on quality, and I’m always trying to update my labels and pictures. I work hard for someone to just come, take a look at my products, see what sells (I hate that about Etsy) undercut all my prices and flat-out copy me!

Copy the name of my products

Copy my shop announcement

Copy my photo style

I can't for the life of me figure out why someone would stoop so low. They must not have much confidence in their own ability of creating or naming products!

We can't control other people if they are working in an unethical way. All I can do is to be ahead of the curve, so the people imitating me will always be steps behind.

So if “you-know-who-you-are” is reading this, be sure that you can have a huge sale every week and out sale me, but that doesn’t make you a winner. You’ll always be a loser.
